Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a two dimensional sensor particularly for car, which comprises a permanent magnet moving while facing plural sensor elements to detect a magnetic field. SOLUTION: A permanent magnet 3 is freely movable on a plane along the first and second directions, which do not coincide with each other, and is fixed to a control lever so as to freely rotate around the third direction perpendicular to the plane as the center. The permanent magnet 3 is freely movable relative to an accumulation device 2 composed of the first group partitioned along the first direction, the second group partitioned along the second direction and a sensor element 10 of the third group to detect an angle position of the permanent magnet 3. An electronic equipment integrated with the sensor unit 10 produces a code relative to a position movement of the permanent magnet 3, and generates a control signal corresponding to a required function.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that, in forming an embedding cavity within a semiconductor material main body in the prior art, a special mask needed complicates the processes, or increases the cost, or further increas the area where the cavity occupies on silicon. SOLUTION: This process comprises the steps of: forming, on a top part of a semiconductor material wafer, a perforated mask which contains a plurality of openings each having a substantially square shape and a side face having an inclination of 45 deg. with respect to the flat part of the semiconductor material wafer, and has a lattice structure, using the perforated mask to perform anisotropic etching on the semiconductor material wafer in TMAH, thereby forming a cavity having a section of a reverse isosceles trapezoid, and using TEOS to perform a chemical vapor phase growth, thereby forming a TEOS layer which can completely airtightly close the opening of the perforated mask, can define a film coating on the cavity, and can form later a suspended integration structure.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an integrated piezoresistive pressure sensor having a diaphragm made of a polycrystalline semiconductor material. SOLUTION: This pressure sensor has a semiconductor material singlecrystal substrate 21, a semiconductor material layer 28 on this substrate 21, a gap 55 arranged between the substrate 21 and semiconductor layer 28, and at least one opening part 53 which extends between the reverse outside surface 52 of the substrate 21 and the gap 55. This semiconductor material layer 28 is formed of a polycrystal area 29 forming the diaphragm above the gap 55 and another single-crystal material layer 30. The piezoresistance element 46 extends above the semiconductor layer 28 and is insulated from there at the lateral limit setting edge of the diaphragm 29 by a dielectric layer 45 and mutually connected to form a Wheaston bridge, so pressure applied onto the sensor can be measured from its unbalance.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate defects that the shape of an embedded oxidation region of an SOI wafer has. SOLUTION: A trench is formed in a single-crystal wafer 200 and its internal wall is etched in wet condition to form a cavity 127. After its internal wall is coated with a crystal growth blocking film and a crystal silicon layer 126 is grown on the top surface of the wafer 200, while leaving the cavity 127, a nitride layer 141 is deposited over an oxide layer, the upper part of the cavity is demarcated with a hard mask 142, opened, and thermally oxidized to form an oxide region 127 and a remaining space 128 in the cavity and also form an oxide region 145 even in the opening part. Then polysilicon is deposited over the entire surface of the wafer 200 and the surface is polished to obtain an SOI wafer, having crystal silicon layers 90 and 126 completely inactivated by a continuous buried oxide area 127.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate a crystallographic failure which exists in an epitaxial layer by eliminating a surface region of a first trench side wall locating at a lower position than a first protecting region after graving and punching. SOLUTION: A mask 9 as an anti-oxidizing material is formed on a wafer 1 by defining a first protecting region 7 which covers a first part 8' of the wafer 1. After mutually separating a second part 8" which is not covered by the mask 9 from the first part 8', the second part 8" is graved and punched and a first a first trench 10 which exists by extending between the first part 8' is formed. And after each first trench 10 is defined by a side wall 10a and a bottom wall 10h, a surface region of the side wall 10a of the first trench 10 which locates at a lower position than the first protecting region 7 is eliminated. By the means a crystallographic failure which exists in an epitaxial layer can be eliminated.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To optimumly form an embedded oxide film region. SOLUTION: This manufacturing method includes a step of forming a plurality of protruding regions 48 and a trench 45, extending between the protruding regions in a wafer 1, a step for implanting mask regions 55 and 56 with nitrogen ions and the tip of the protruding parts 48, and a step of forming a delay region 57 on the bottom of the trench 45. Nitrogen of the delay region is implanted at a dose lower than a mask region. Thermal oxidization is performed, in such a manner that it starts at the bottom part of the protruding region 48 and progresses downward. The continuous region of an embedded oxide film is formed, and a non-oxidized film region, where a nucleus region is formed for continuous epitaxial growth, is formed on the continuous region corresponding to the tip of the protruding region. The mask regions 55 and 56 and the delay region 57 are formed via two continuous implantations including an oblique implantation.
